The band's sonic style is described by Adam Easterling as "big pants music", blending traditional metallic hardcore with the aggressive groove metal aggression of bands such as Meshuggah and Slipknot, and the nu metal bounce of bands such as Korn and System of a Down, creating a brand of nu metalcore
